It was more explictly aimed at kids in those days too.

An adult grabbing a coffee and muffin on the way to the office can do that in the bottom image. You'd feel like a sex offender sitting in the top one reading your emails over a latte.

Adults that feel like sex offenders in totally normal scenarios might just be.

Anyone who thinks an adult having a coffee in that top image is a totally normal scenario is not someone whose opinion the rest of us need to worry about.

It’s literally a dining room of a fast food restaurant. I feel sorry for you that as an adult you’ve lost all appreciation for whimsy. The modern world is far too sterile. As an adult with kids I see nothing wrong with another adult to be in a restaurant drinking coffee. I’d be a bit concerned if they were playing in the old McDonalds playground with kids present but I also recognize that child rapist make up about .05 percent of the population vs the amount of adults that just like to still have fun.

I'm baffled that a parent with a high appreciation for whimsy took my obvious joke as a serious comment and started genuinely thinking it was about sex with children.
